Gurman: iOS 27's Siri Extensions feature will get its own App Store section

Last week, a report revealed that Apple plans to let Siri connect with third-party AI chatbots through a new β€˜Extensions’ feature in iOS 27. Now, additional details about the feature have surfaced. In his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that the Extensions feature will have its own dedicated section within the App Store, effectively serving as a marketplace for AI integrations. Users will be able to browse this section and add third-party chatbots to Siri, enabling them to run directly within the assistant. However, the feature will only work with apps that...

Google Pixel 11 CAD-based renders leak

Earlier this month, CAD-based renders portraying the upcoming Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold leaked, and today the vanilla Pixel 11 is getting the exact same treatment. Like the Pro Fold, this one is expected to become official in August. Compared to its predecessor from 2025, the Pixel 11 has noticeably smaller bezels, as well as a tweaked camera island design. The oval-shaped island is now fully covered by glass - the metallic part on its right side is gone. That said, the design overall is very Pixel-like and doesn't change a lot. If you were waiting for a huge redesign, this won't...

The HMD Luma is the only smartphone from the brand to launch in 2026 so far, but we may soon see a new addition to the India-exclusive Crest lineup. X user @smashx_60 shared an official-looking render and key specs for the upcoming HMD Crest 2 Pro.

Oppo teases the Find X9s Pro ahead of its unveiling in April

vivo just announced the X300s alongside the X300 Ultra, and Oppo is unveiling its competitor to the latter next month in the form of the Find X9 Ultra. But the company is also eager to let us know that it has an X300s competitor of sorts in the pipeline as well, namely the Find X9s Pro. The company has just published the teaser video you can see below on its official Weibo account. The Find X9s Pro will have a 200MP main camera and a 200MP periscope telephoto camera, which is a setup that has also been rumored in the past for the non-Pro Find X9s. There's also a 50MP ultrawide, and...

Ayaneo discontinues Snapdragon 8 Elite based Pocket FIT console due to rising costs

Things aren’t getting better – they are getting worse. The current semiconductor shortages are affecting RAM, SSD and CPU prices and companies are pulling the emergency brake. Ayaneo just announced that the Konkr Pocket FIT 8Elite is now shipping, after a delay of several months. Unfortunately, the Indiegogo post announcing this ends on a somber note: Please also note that due to the recent increase in storage component prices, future production costs will rise significantly. As a result, after this upcoming restock, Pocket FIT 8Elite will very likely be the final production batch, and...

vivo X300s announced with 200MP main camera and optional Photography Kit

In addition to the X300 Ultra camera flagship, vivo is also introducing the X300s today – this one fills a gap between the small 6.3” X300 (CNY 4,600 for a 12/256GB model) and the large-but-pricey 6.78” X300 Pro (CNY 5,600 for a 12/256GB phone). The vivo X300s has a starting price of CNY 5,000 (there’s a more detailed breakdown below) and features a 6.78” 144Hz OLED display with 1,260 x 2,800px resolution (20:9) and 10-bit colors. It’s an LTPO panel (BOE Q10 Plus), which makes it nearly identical to the Pro display (it’s missing Dolby Vision, but that’s about it). The vivo X300s has a...

AirDrop support for older Galaxy S devices is getting closer

Android makers never quite managed to make a local file sharing solution that is as good as Apple’s AirDrop – and they tried. So, as the saying goes, if you can’t beat them, join them. The Samsung Galaxy S26 series (S26, S26+, S26 Ultra), the only phones that run stable One UI 8.5 at the moment, already have official AirDrop support via the Quick Share feature. And soon, older models will get it too. A number of people are reporting that their Quick Share settings screen has a new β€œShare with Apple devices” toggle. However, while the feature is visible, it doesn’t actually work for...

vivo X300 Ultra is official with near 1" 35mm camera, new 200MP 85mm zoom

The vivo X300 Ultra has just arrived officially! It continues the refinement of the series and doesn't diverge from the core specs of its predecessors. That means, its camera system has gotten better with both better hardware and software, but it's fundamentally the same 14mm + 35mm + 85mm premier-quality setup. The vivo X200 Ultra brought the large sensor 1/1.28-inch 14mm ultrawide, and the X300 Ultra seemingly reuses it for 2026. The 85mm zoom may sound the same - 200MP 1/1.4-inch - but it uses Samsung's newer ISOCELL HP0 sensor, which brings twice as fast autofocus (vivo claims...

Oppo Pad Mini showcased ahead of launch with extremely thin and light body

Oppo's premium small tablet Pad Mini is expected to arrive in April alongside the Find X9 Ultra, Watch X3 Mini and the Enco Clip 2 earbuds, but an Oppo official shared a short teaser video of the tablet ahead of launch. And although short, we got a glimpse of what to expect. The Pad Mini is described as "incredibly thin and light", featuring razor-thin bezels. By the looks of it, it features an aluminum-clad chassis with a simplistic design and a dual-camera setup on the back, which corroborates earlier findings. Speaking of earlier findings, recent leaks suggest that...

Leaked iPhone 18 Pro screen protector reveals narrower Dynamic Island cutout

We’ve been seeing conflicting reports about the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 series, which has been rumored to shrink in size. We now have images of an alleged iPhone 18 Pro screen protector, which shows the slimmed-down Dynamic Island. iPhone 17 Pro screen protector (top) vs iPhone 18 Pro (bottom) The pill-shaped cutout housing the TrueDepth camera and Face ID sensors appears slimmer, and according to the post on Weibo, it measures 13.49mm compared to the 17 Pro’s 20.76mm wide cutout. Outside of the slimmer cutout, the iPhone 18 Pro appears to have identically sized display...

Realme Narzo 100 Lite details leak, said to launch soon

Realme is gearing up to launch the successor to the Narzo 80 Lite in India soon, according to a new leak. Called the Narzo 100 Lite, the upcoming device is expected to be a budget offering, said to come in two color options and three RAM/storage configurations. The Realme Narzo 100 Lite is tipped to be the first device in the upcoming Narzo 100 lineup, set to succeed the Narzo 90 series. However, since the Narzo 90 lineup did not include a Lite variant, the 100 Lite is likely to serve as a successor to last year’s Narzo 80 Lite. Realme Narzo 80 Lite According to the leak, the Narzo...

Top 10 trending phones of week 13

After its predecessors dominated our trending chart for the past two years, it's hardly surprising that the Samsung Galaxy A57 topped our trending chart in the week of its debut. It enjoyed a comfortable lead over second placed Poco X8 Pro Max and the Galaxy S26 Ultra in third. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14379, 1#] Poco X8 Pro came in fourth, followed by the outgoing Galaxy A56. The other member of Samsung's new mid-range duo, the Galaxy A37, came in sixth. We then have the iPhone 17 Pro Max, followed by the OnePlus 15T and the Galaxy A17. The Redmi Note 15 completes this installment of...

Xiaomi Watch 5 review

It’s no secret that battery endurance has always been the Achilles’ heel of Wear OS smartwatches, so when Xiaomi announced its Watch 5 with a massive 930mAh silicon-carbon (Si-C) battery, we were instantly intrigued. With claims of up to 6 days of regular use, which extends to 18 days in power save mode, Watch 5 offers the longest runtimes of any smartwatch running Android on the wrist. Alongside the lofty battery claims, Xiaomi also outfitted the Watch 5 with a big 1.54” AMOLED touchscreen protected by sapphire glass and a premium stainless-steel casing. This is also the first...

Samsung Galaxy A57/A37, OnePlus 15T official, Week 13 in review

The highly anticipated arrival of the Samsung Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 went down this week. Both share the core specs of their predecessors but with subtle 2026 improvements - new chipsets, better build quality, and some more AI. The Samsung Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 will be available from April 9 or 10 (it varies by region). In the US, the A37 will start at $450, while the base A57 option will cost $550.

Hot take: Samsung Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy A57 and A37 mid-rangers this week and they will go on sale in early April. We will be doing full reviews on these two in due time, but we wanted to share our initial thoughts first. The Galaxy A56 and A36 were very successful In its report for Q2 last year, the IDC highlighted both the Galaxy A56 and A36 as key growth drivers for Samsung. The A56 was also the best-selling phone in Europe last year, beating out the iPhone 16. It didn’t do so well in the US, but that’s because Samsung bungled the launch – more on that in a bit. Also, in our Top 20 most popular...

Weekly poll: will you buy the Samsung Galaxy A57 or the Galaxy A37?

The Samsung Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 will be available from April 9 or 10 (it varies a bit by country) with a starting price of $550 / €530 / β‚Ή63,000 and $450 / €430 / β‚Ή57,000, respectively. Note that during the pre-order period, Samsung offers a free storage upgrade in some regions. How does that sound to you?

Weekly poll results: the Oppo Find N6 gets praise, but limited availability is an issue

The Oppo Find N6 will be a very popular phone – and it could have been even more popular, but Oppo decided not to offer it in Europe. Otherwise, the N6 could have hit an impressive 50% positive vote in last week’s poll or gone even higher, assuming the phone reviews well (we have a review unit and we’re already testing it). The phone’s predecessor, the Find N5, impressed us last year and the N6 brings several important upgrades like the β€œzero-feel” crease, the 200MP main camera and the larger 6,000mAh Si/C battery. Of course, foldables aren’t for everyone – many in the comments said...

Weekly deals: Galaxy S25 FE on sale, OnePlus 15 and 15R prices drop, Pixel 10 also discounted

You can pre-order an A57 (8/128GB) for $550 or an A37 (6/128GB) for $450. But while we wait, let’s have a look at what else is available.

Apple discontinues the Mac Pro after twenty years

Apple has discontinued the Mac Pro. The venerable desktop computer had a twenty-year run and served as the flagship model in the company's lineup for most of its lifetime. The company has since removed the product from its website. The Mac Pro first launched in 2006 as a replacement for the then flagship Power Mac G5. Similar to its predecessor, the Mac Pro was a desktop tower PC with a modular design that allowed the user to replace the CPU, memory, optical and storage drives, and PCI expansion cards. The basic format of the Mac Pro remained unchanged till 2012, even as it...

More details about the vivo T5 Pro leak including its price and launch time frame

vivo is working on the T5 Pro, the successor to the T4 Pro, and it's expected to launch in India soon. The T5 Pro surfaced in an IMEI database back in February, and a few days ago its key specs got outed by a tipster. Today, a new report claims the phone will become official in India by mid-April.

Oppo Watch X3 in for review

This is the Oppo Watch X3,and it may or may not come to the global stage. But we've got our fingers crossed, because its predecessor became a globally available wearable. The smartwatch comes in Orange, Black, or this Titanium, and costs CNY 2,800. It ships with a 4-pin wireless charger and a USB cable. There's more than a skin-deep resemblance between the Oppo Watch X3 and the OnePlus Watch 3. They're not the same, mind - while the OnePlus wearable uses stainless steel, the Oppo Watch X3 uses Titanium, which is lighter. It shows, too, as the Oppo is just 43 grams, while the OnePlus...

OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite specs leak along with pricing

PlayStation consoles get massive price hikes across the board

Sony has announced substantial price hikes for its PlayStation consoles across all the major regions. These are the biggest price hikes we have seen so far, with a straightforward $100 increase in the US market. According to the company's blog post, which lists all the updated prices, there is "continued pressures in the global economic landscape". These do seem to happen quite regularly to Sony, as the company cited something similar last year when it increased PlayStation prices, as well as in 2022 when it also increased PlayStation prices. The following are the new prices for...

Apple is opening up Siri to more third party AI chatbots, new rumor claims

According to a new rumor from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who is usually a very reliable source of Apple-related information, the company is planning some big changes to Siri in iOS 27, which is due to be unveiled on June 8. We don't just mean that the long-awaited, much-delayed AI-infused Gemini-powered Siri will finally make an appearance. Gurman now says Apple will also "open up" Siri and will let it run any AI service via an extension that plugs into Siri if a respective third-party AI app allows this. Thus, ChatGPT will no longer be an exclusive partner for Siri. Currently, when...

OnePlus Nord CE6 leaks in hands-on image, Nord CE6 Lite is on the way too

OnePlus is launching the Nord 6 on April 7. While this device has been leaking a lot lately, until today we weren't sure whether there will be a Nord CE6 too. According to a new leak from a tipster over on X, the answer is, thankfully, yes. Not just that, but the image below purportedly shows the upcoming Nord CE6 for the first time ever. The design is clearly reminiscent of other recent Oppo and OnePlus smartphones. The same source says OnePlus will also launch the Nord CE6 Lite alongside the CE6 in May. OnePlus didn't launch a Nord CE5 Lite, so the last CE Lite device was the CE4...

All iPhone 18 models and the iPhone Air 2 are now rumored to get this improvement

Apple was long rumored to get rid of the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, but recently a new rumor claimed that wouldn't happen, and instead, they would just have a smaller Dynamic Island. Today, a new rumor from Ice Universe in China brings some more context. According to him, it's not just the Pros that will get the smaller Dynamic Island - but the entire series, including the iPhone 18 and the iPhone Air 2. On the other hand, the screen bezels will stay exactly the same as they are in the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air,...

Honor starts teasing the 600 and 600 Pro, promises a "next-gen camera"

A few days ago, the upcoming Honor 600 and Honor 600 Pro leaked in official-looking renders, and in the meantime the former was also spotted on Geekbench rocking the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC. Now, Honor has officially started teasing the duo in Malaysia, where it's put up a special microsite for their upcoming launch. Three themes are teased as you can see in the images below: "Next Design", "Next AI", and "Next-Gen Camera".

The new Xiaomi Redmi A7 Pro has a massive 6.9” display and a 6,000mAh battery

Xiaomi quietly released the affordable Redmi A7 Pro – it’s currently available in Italy and Indonesia. This phone is very similar to the Redmi A5 and Poco C71, except (as far as we can tell) it runs full-fat Android 16 / HyperOS 3 instead of the lighter Go Edition like the other two models. The A7 Pro is powered by the same Unisoc T7250 chipset, a rather old 12nm part. The more worrying spec is the 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM – that’s not a lot for full Android and apps (Go Edition apps are lighter). For storage, you can have either 64GB or 128GB of UFS 2.2. The good news is that there’s a microSD...

Samsung Galaxy S26 with 128GB storage exists but you probably don't want it

A little over a week after debuting its Galaxy S26 Ultra Enterprise Edition, Samsung has seemingly also introduced a corporate-exclusive version of the Galaxy S26. The more notable bit is that we’re seeing two versions of the S26 Enterprise Edition, with one featuring 256GB storage and retailing for Β£899 and a second option with 128GB storage with a retail price of Β£660. The 128GB storage version is pretty weird considering the regular Galaxy S26 starts with 256GB storage. The Β£239 lower starting price is pretty noteworthy too, but it's still not a regular phone that you can just buy...

Gemini can now import your chat history from other AI chatbots

AI chatbots have become an intrinsic part of our online activity, and as usual, there are different camps. Some use ChatGPT while others prefer Claude or Google's Gemini. These chatbots are programmed to learn from your behavior, interests and past interactions to serve you more relevant information and answers. So if you decide to switch from one AI service to another, you'd have to start from scratch, as your chat history won't be available. Google is making the switch much easier with the latest update to Gemini. The company has now added a new Import memory tool that lets you...

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is here, and for yet another year, we get a rather modest upgrade over the previous generation. And at this point, it has become an age-old question: should you go for the newer Galaxy or the older Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will do just fine? With Samsung's long software support promise of 7 years of OS upgrades and security patches, the latest generation has one fewer advantage over the older one, so even if you choose to go for the S25 Ultra, you won't be missing out on important software upgrades. Despite the lack of proper hardware upgrades, the Galaxy...

The Ultrahuman Ring Pro is now available for pre-order in the US, here's how to get a 10% discount

The Ultrahuman Ring Pro was announced at the end of February and went on pre-order around the world with the notable exception of the US.

The Motorola Razr 70 series is expected to debut in the coming weeks. Recently, the standard Razr 70 surfaced on TENAA, revealing its key specifications. Now, renders of the Razr 70 Ultra have leaked. As per the leak, the Razr 70 Ultra will be slightly thicker than the outgoing Razr 60 Ultra.

Meanwhile, the Razr 60 Ultra is 7.2 mm thick in its unfolded state and 15.7 mm when folded. The leak suggests that the slight increase in thickness may be due to...

Oppo says the Find X9 Ultra has a built-in 10x teleconverter

vivo is launching the X300 Ultra on Monday, and Oppo is working on its very own competitor to that device, the Find X9 Ultra. We already know that it's coming in April, and that, like the X300 Ultra, it will be available globally. Whereas vivo's Ultra has optional teleconverters taking it to high zoom levels, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra will have a built-in 10x telephoto camera. Oppo released a new teaser today calling it a built-in 'teleconverter' of sorts, clearly throwing some shade vivo's way.
